Fighting the hook
The hook is a shot which curves to the left (for right handed players). The reason for a hook is a club face which is closed to the path of the club. It is important to understand this as the club face may be square to the target line but if the path is in to out it is closed to the path of the club. Before we go into checking the path we first must check the grip.

The college girl
Actor Genelia D’Souza, who is known for playing the bubbly, vivacious college girl in most of her films, says she seems to own that spot in Bollywood. The 24-year-old actor, who has portrayed the role of a young energetic girl in films like Tujhe Meri Kasam and Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, says she is offered such roles more than other actors. “I seem to own the spot of the college girl in Bollywood. Down south I have been given strong issue based roles. But here I don’t get one,” said Genelia. The actor, who will be next seen opposite John Abraham in Force, says she plays a mature girl in the film, though it looks similar to the roles she has done before.
